What is the responsibility of the MWD program manager?

The responsibility of the MWD program manager includes developing and disseminating policies related to the Military Working Dog (MWD) program. This involves creating guidelines and standard operating procedures that ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance of the program with military regulations and safety standards. The MWD program manager is crucial in establishing a clear framework for how the program operates, what its objectives are, and how personnel should be trained and supported.

By focusing on policy development and dissemination, the program manager helps ensure that all aspects of the MWD operations are aligned with the overall mission objectives of the military and that the personnel involved have the necessary guidance to perform their roles effectively. Having sound policies in place is essential for maintaining high standards of care for the dogs, ensuring operational readiness, and managing the risks associated with military canine operations.
